He could argue a situation where he basically can't find work anywhere else now even if he wanted to leave WWE, all because of what Punk said about him (well, about the Doctor who treated him), ruining his reputation and threatening his potential for his future career.

I'm in the UK where our laws are different with this sort of thing. But wouldn't he have to prove this is the case?

WWE wants their win back.

Not even joking, they think they got worked by the earlier settlement and are trying to get back at Punk, but because of the deal they have to use the doctor as a proxy to protect themselves.

Okay, NOW I see where this is going and it makes total sense now. As much of a bitch Punk is, I don't see him losing this unless his lawyer really fucks up.

And Cobana should be off since his case is journalism and those kind of rights.

Yeah Dave Meltzer talked about this. Basically they've been beaten at their own game and they've not reacted well to it, so because they're not allowed to do anything directly with Punk they're fully supporting the doctor instead. It's pretty much why Colt Cabana has been included in it. It's a petty move. If Punk gave that interview to a newspaper would they sue the newspaper? No, they're just doing it because he's Punk's friend and they know it'll cause a headache since one of them has a lot of money and one of them doesn't.

He's someone who is used to getting top gigs in the sports world, it would be hard for him to get a new position with accusations of malpractice hanging around. If you were accused of nearly killing a guy and pressuring him to work through concussions would you sue him if you thought it was a lie?

They would probably include the newspaper in the suit depending on the newspapers actions following the interview.

No UFC fan is gonna care if carny man punk wins against his freshly picked organic tomato can opponent. Some people will be rooting for him to get his rear end beat, but if he pulls off a simple dec vs a really lovely fighter no one will give a gently caress.

The only hilarious ending to the CM Punk/UFC saga for me is if Punk ends up failing a drug test.

Excuses for what? How he's gonna win? Dana already said they're gonna match him up with someone with similar experience (next to none and not training at a top mma camp like cm punk is) and it only makes sense to give him a win in his first fight anyways. It's a silly sideshow money grab fight and we all see it for what it is. I don't know why you guys are so obsessively attached to this dude.
